Census 2010 data provide a way to examine ZIP Code demographics by city/place as well as areas outside
city/places.
Many ZIP codes transcend city/place boundaries extending into non-city/place areas or other city/places.
Use data described in this section to view which ZIP codes serve a city/place and corresponding demographics.
Examine which places and non-places are served by a specific ZIP code and associated demographics.

Sort the ranking table below to see that the Place/ZIP code areas with the largest population include Chicago/60629 (113,916),
El Paso/79936 (111,086), New York/11368 (109,931) and Norwalk CA/90650 (105,549) and Los Angeles/90011 (103,892) ... the population of these ZIP code areas exceed
the population of many metros.

Census 2010 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs)
and Places geographies are both comprised of sets of census blocks.
Census block level data from the
Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1)
have been aggregated into ZIP code-Place parts to develop data presented in the ranking table.
Data in the ranking table are part of the ProximityOne national ZIP Code-Place demographic dataset.
See additional details.

Use the ranking table to view a city/place by ZIP code and selected associated demographics for each ZIP code portion
in that city/place. Examine how ZIP codes are split by specific place and non-place areas.
City/ZIP combinations with population 10 or less are not shown in the table but are in included in related dataset.
Nationally, there are 69,979 unique City or Non-City/ZIP combinations with population of 10 or more.

Mapping City-ZIP Code Areas
The following view shows the Vernon County, MO area.
Census 2010 ZIP Code areas are shown with green fill pattern and boundary and labels.
Census 2010 city boundaries are shown with black boundary, yellow fill pattern and labeled with city name.
The pointer/hand is shown in ZIP code 64772.
Using the ranking table above, it is possible to view demographic for the parts of the ZIP code area
within the city and outside of the city. See the next graphic.

The following static view of the ranking table above is focused on the same ZIP/area.
To develop this view, use ShowAll, select Missouri, sort ascending on ZIP code, scroll to ZIP 64772.
An alternate method is the ShowAll and use Find ZIP with 64772 in the edit box; this method, however, shows
the ZIP code in isolation from other ZIPs.
The total Census 2010 population for ZIP 64772 was 13,596 (8,386 + 5,210).
38.32 percent of the Census 2010 population in the ZIP code area 64772 is outside of the city.
The same method of examining city/place by ZIP code area part can be applied to any area of the U.S.

ZIP Code Tabulations
Data presented in the ranking table sum to the total population/housing units for the
corresponding state.
The demographic characteristics for each census block in each state are aggregated
into a ZIP-Place or ZIP-Outside Places combination.

For those blocks outside of city/places, the place code of 99999 is used. When a ranking table row shows the place
code 99999, the area is not in a city/place and the area name appears as 'Not in a city/place.'

There are many instances of ZIP-Place combinations that show zero or nearly zero population.
These areas are often geographic slivers, almost lines.
